Home is in the right area. It is near chinatown. And plus, you will be near some local food spots that have cheap/good food & cheap/good beer! Long walk or metro distance or mini taxi away from popular spots like nana area, and other areas (check google maps and/or...ask the host). Host was very helpful to me for information about Bangkok. The home itself is fantastic. The only thing a little challenging are those stairs, but, life ain't perfect. You can't have it all.
